At the Q&A today Ion asked for more UH feedback on issues we are having besides APOC. While we do hate the RNG related to APOC that is not our core issues.

The biggest thing we need fixed is scaling and that is true to Frost and Blood as well. The second that I see more often is how our mobility being so low but our DPS is bottom of the barrel.

What is the most disturbing thing about the Q&A addressed to us is that you think we are not giving our thoughts or ideas on the class and that APOC with RNG is the only issue we have (yes it is a issue of ours dealing with rotational flow). There are some great players out there that are giving you wonderful solutions to our issues. To say that you are not seeing anything else from the community is a slap in the face to these players. DK's have not been addressed for months prior to this little thing given today in the Q&A and that our Bracers are too overpowered.

So here are some wonderful threads that keep talking about the state of DKs and ideas that can help improve us.

Quick note on a small upcoming change: in the next PTR build, Apocalypse will burst up to 6 Festering Wounds (instead of 8). However, the damage of the summoned ghouls will be increased by 33% (which will not be obvious from data), keeping the total the same. This is also a large buff to the damage of Army of the Dead. Finally, in a separate change, the damage of the summoned Gargoyle and Val'kyr will be increased.

An upcoming PTR hotfix (unsure of timing) will increase the damage of Portal to the Underworld and proc rate of Armies of the Damned.

One other set of changes is meant to help free up a little space in the rotation, or at least get back to the point where you're not frequently wasting resources due to not having enough time to spend them all. We're reducing a few effects that inject large amount of resources into the rotation (such as Pestilent Pustules) and increasing overall damage slightly. The net result is that people playing busy builds like Castigator/Pestilent Pustules/Infected Claws will likely still be using most or all of their global cooldowns on abilities, but will less often be in a state where they ignore or overcap Runic Power.

At the same time as Pestilent Pustules and Runic Corruption changes are on PTR, Unholy should also have increases to Portal to the Underworld damage, Armies of the Damned proc rate, Death Coil damage, and a small increase to all damage.
